Kudos for including shots of the game contents/ setup. Many other channels don't bother with b-roll so it's difficult to imagine games I have never seen or heard of. It must be a bit of a hassle doing it for every entry but the extra effort definitely makes a difference and is much appreciated :)
I have a small collection and we have a surprising amount of crossover! Expeditions, Orleans, Wingspan, Heat, Paint the Roses, Burgundy, and my favourite: Above and Below! Loved this list. Tempted to try to pick up mechs vs minions based on your description. Keep up the good work.
@@SirThecos I love Unsettled, bought it earlier this year. Such a good game. It’s a bit of a table hog but the brain burn is so fun. I also love the original Sub Terra (from 2017) and it’s excellent playing multi hand solo as well as with others. I’ve just picked up Endeavor: Deep Sea but not had a chance to play it yet, but I’ve heard great things and I’m super excited to get it to the table. My wife will be delighted to see Wingspan at number one. It’s her favourite game. She’s got three in our collection, (along with Obsession, Zoo Vadis, and Flock Together) and she loves them all. I think obsession is phenomenal too and I’ve bought her the coins; Dan Hallagan has done such a good job with those, they’re so heavy! Thank you so much for this video!
Great stuff and loving the transitions! Two questions: 1) what’s your method to create the list? Do you use something like pubmeeple? 2) have you ever played Astor Knight? How does it compare to Aeon’s End for you?
Great to hear! 😁 I note all games that I like enough to potentially be ranked in my Top 80-100. And then I manually compare all games with each other with PubMeeple. That's a few hundred comparisons. And then I take that list and manually adjust the rankings how I would place every game. And then, that's the list. 😁 And then it takes me about 15 hours to create one video, from the scripts all the way to the upload. I have played Astro Knights (also on the channel!) and I like it. If you want a more streamlined, quicker and simpler Aeon's End, this game does exactly that. I, personally, don't need both games and I like Aeon's End way more. It's much more interesting and challenging IMHO. 😁
@@SirThecos From your list? Barenpark, Quacks, El Dorado, PARKS, Sky Team, Roll Player, CDMD, Orleans, Aeon's End, Castles of Burgundy. From my collection I would add: GWT series, Pulsar 2849, Endeavor, Marvel Champions.
@TAC3O Very cool! Endeavor and Marvel Champions I have played but not the others. I'm especially interested in GWT! 👀 Do you have a favorite entry in the GWT series?
@@SirThecos Definitely start with the first one (now in the second edition). It's heavier than other games in this list, but the general idea is very simple (just move your herder meeple one, two or three spaces and do the action on the tile). My favorite would be probably Argentina.
I see you sleeved Mechs Vs Minions. Still unplayed. Do you see having to open packs and having to sleeve more cards? Wondering if I should leave extra sleeves for those moments.
Yes, you will unlock more cards during the campaign. So, you should have a few extra sleeves. Warning: You can make it work with sleeves but not really well. While the insert is great, it doesn't really account for sleeves. 🧐
I have! And I really like the design. Somehow, it still hardly hits the table since there are always other games I enjoy more. But yes, I should get it on the table more often. 🧐
Wyrmspan has replaced Wingspan for me. Whilst I prefer birds as a theme, the underlying better mechanics in Wyrmspan have improved the game significantly for me.
That's great to hear! While I enjoyed Wyrmspan, it can't replace the elegance and the theme of Wingspan for me. But it's great that there are now two options for people to choose! 🤓

It is a lot of work but I'm happy that the community enjoys that approach! 😊

I agree! 😁

let's goo, top-list time 🎉
Whoo! 🥳
Wingspan is still my top game as well! It's been at the top for quite a while now.
That is absolutely amazing to hear! ♥️🐦
cant wait ❤🎉
😁💯

Love from Finland. ❤
Love back from Germany! ♥️
the question is: where is wingspan this year? :)
Well, what do you think? 😅
When is 100-51????
Oh, a Top 100 next time? 😳😅
Let’s gooooo!
@@Bogrin 🥳🥳🥳
My fav game this year is definitely Marvel Champions! Such a fun card game both solo and multiplayer! Have you ever tried it?
I have! And I really like the design. Somehow, it still hardly hits the table since there are always other games I enjoy more. But yes, I should get it on the table more often. 🧐
@ would love a Sir Thecos deep dive video! :)
@@Bogrin I have definitely planned a playthrough - let's see when I'll get around to it. 👀
Caper: europe and earth dissappeared from the list this year
I've played them less this year and they just barely missed the Top 50! 😬
🎄🎧🚐🇵🇱
no mage knight? (just kidding)
Oh, you just made my heart jump for a second. Well done, Sir. 😅
